Guest shura110 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Guys, I am debating if I should do this: I have an old 113 from Ruby and want to change the dial and caseback to DSN 03a. As I think the closed casebacks better for rep Pam's. Should I do it or just leave it as is? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 IMHO, it depends on the 03A dial. If the dial markers look and glow like lume and the dial says t swiss t then I wouldn't do it unless you are going to relume in "vintage tritium". If the dial says L swiss L then you don't want an A caseback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the DSN dial is T Swiss T (at least in his picturees) and I was planning to relume it with 'vintage tritium' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think the 03 should be sporting a nice polished CG where the 113 is brushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I assume the Ruby dial is L Swiss L on the bottom? I would go for an 03A or B depending on the caseback you procure. Get the dial properly T-lumed (DSN's is not up to snuff) and make sure you have a polished CG with a brushed lever (correct ST4). Here is mine with a "B" caseback - Gen Dial, hands and Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylar Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Listen to the voice of reasoning. 03a for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
